 Posted on Jul-07-2007


Canada’s dollar had clamber up to 30-year high against the US dollar last Friday, this increase because of the high pricings of oil, strong economy and increasing interest rates.

The Canadian currency had advanced to a 95.53 US cents, pushing the past 95 US cents marked the first time since 1977 of May.

It increased to a 10.8% this year. This is one of the strongest in the performances in the currency market last Friday., there is an increase in the Canadian dollar after the report in the economy that helped create 35,000 new work last June, this is twice as expected by the economists.
